Lawsuit: Man deported after being part of protection program

19/04/2017

The DREAM Act and the DACA program were created to take a humane approach to how the US deals with children brought to the country illegally when they were very young and, now, in many cases, have lived in the USA for decades, as well as families that may be torn apart by the deportation of a mother or father who is undocumented, but whose kids are American citizens.

So it's no surprise he had little sympathy for Juan Manuel Montes, a 23-year-old who came to the U.S.at the age of 9 and was detained and deported by the Border Patrol, first reported by USA Today on Tuesday.

Montes was shielded from deportation twice under President Obama's DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) program, which granted protections for over 750,000 undocumented immigrants. He says he told them that he has DACA status and left his wallet in a friend's vehicle, but the officers wouldn't let him retrieve his ID.

But Montes is the first documented case of a Dreamer with active DACA status being deported.

President Trump, however, has signed executive orders making practically all 11 million undocumented immigrants estimated to be living illegally in the USA at risk of immediate deportation, striking previous priorities under the Obama administration.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection disputed the account of Montes' immigration status, saying that his DACA permit expired in August 2015 and, according to its records, was not renewed. Montes sneaked back into the US the next day - with his wallet this time - but got scared and turned himself in to CBP, the lawsuit says. "We've seen Trump and (Department of Homeland Security Secretary) John Kelly say, "The DACA program is alive and well.' We've seen (House Speaker) Paul Ryan look straight into the eyes of one of our members and say, 'You have nothing to worry about, '" she added". Nevertheless, he graduated from high school in 2013 and was taking welding classes at a Southern California community college before he was deported. "No one should have to file a lawsuit to find out what happened to them". "We will be talking to the attorney general", Trump said.

"There I worked and studied at the same time".

He had minor run-ins with the law, four convictions to be exact: one for shoplifting and three for driving without a license. Unable to verify that he was covered by DACA, Montes was detained, questioned and asked to sign certain documents.

Trump hasn't indicated since then that he'd roll back protections on so-called DREAMers, or DACA enrollees, under the program.

"Not a single piece of documentation or verbal explanation of what happened to him [was provided]", said attorney Nora Preciado of the National Immigration Law Center, which is representing Montes. "I liked it there more than here".

CBP told the paper it could not discuss Montes' case because of its privacy policy.
